Brown Eyed Susan (Gaillardia aristata) note card 5 1/2 x 7 1/2

5 1/2 x 7 1/2

this is not a British Columbia wildflower

and we took a day off to hike through the alpine meadows

they always remind me of a Maxfield Parrish painting

These are my very first recollections of the Okanagan Valley when we visited my grandparents' orchard just a mile south of downtown Oliver

Brown Eyed Susan (Gaillardia aristata) note card 5 1/2 x 7 1/2Brown Eyed Susan (Gaillardia aristata) Not needing particularly rich soils, this colourful wildflower is common in open parkland sites and brightens any of those landscapes. Sometimes referred to a the Blanketflower. This is a personal favourite of mine for some reason the yellow seems particularly rich! 5 1 2 X 7 1 2 Unframed
